Far and Away

Far and Away

Stars exchange glances
moonlight pales
and I think of you
a distant echo
another realm

with me
nowhere to be found.

Jo, this makes me think of my friend, so very far away, in India. Such beautiful poetry.

the picture is astonishing...it feels like within your grasp and yet it is not, hence the poem explained.

i wonder if you create the poem after the image or the image after the poem?

Love the image and it fits the poem perfectly. Funny I should see this today, because that's sort of how I'm feeling right now.

Carmen, I thought of you while writing it and knew it would stir those feelings. You'll be seeing him soon...

eng, I actually wrote the poem then decided I wanted a photo to accompany the poem on the post so I rummaged through my photos and found the rose. I edited the picture and added the stars to fit with the poem. Thanks so much for your words.

Angel, your blog is often an inspiration to me and I thank you for sharing with all of us. You have a wonderful weekend as well.

I like this picture and the poem written to match. Space has always facinated me and I like to gaze at it, whether from the night skies or from inspirational pictures like yours. You are truly a poetic shutterbug!

A very haunting piece that leaves the reader with an ache of urgent longing. Beautiful.

I can remember days that I felt that way. What a brilliant but melancholy verse.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie. For more cute critters, click the above widget.
